Cedric walk towards the others,catching up the each other's conversation.He noticed a very familiar face.Its their prefect when he was in 2nd year.It was Vannie.He moved towards the girl,"Hello."He said smiling wonders if the prefect still knows him even if they haven't seen each other years ago.

With awesome hair comes alot of work, and Jake was feeeeeeling the pressure. Until he found his wand. Then it was mega easy, combined with that Sleekeazy stuff he nicked from Reese every now and then. Yep, smooth, straight, green hair? Puuuurrrrrfect.

Next, he put on those skinny jeans black jeans that had the slightly tight looking fit and followed the contours of his legs perfectly. Okay... they WERE skinny jeans. A white t-shirt came next, with the top of his waistband and belt juuuust meeting the hem of the shirt. On said t-shirt was, quite fittingly, Superman's emblem. River would like that. Yes.

Slipping on some of his chucky black skate shoes and switching his eyebrow bar for a see-through one, and his tongue bar for a multi-coloured one, Jake quickly checked his reflection before thudding downstairs, making sure to grab the superman hat he'd bought especially for River.

"Done," he announced, entering the kitchen, raising his pierced eyebrow at the sheer amount of kids present. There had to be, what, two... three? Mayhem, man. Shaking his head, Jake took the hat from behind his back and showed it discreetly to River.

"haha, yep. He's definitely my son." She smiled when Ella told her that he looked like her. "Mmhmm. He looks like the both of us. Such a handsome boy. His name's River and he turned 2 in May." It was hard to believe that he was growing up so fast. She still remembered when they took him home from the hospital. He had been so tiny.

She nodded. "That's good. That's very good 'cause it definitly is wrong to be with someone you don't like, It's crappy." And pretty low... She laughed but it was true. She couldn't imagine dating someone she didn't have feelings for. Not that that mattered now that she was happily married, mind

She nodded at that comment regarding Jake. "Yes, I trust that boy a lot. He's a great kid, he just doesn't let others see it often." And it was obvious how much trust he placed in him to let him carry his son around like that without fear that he would fall.

"Oh, gee! I'm so happy for you two!" It was always so exciting to see people going to take the plunge. And she had loved being engaged herself. "Yes, I'll talk to you soon," she said smiling as she walked away.

She was surprised when she saw that Jakers had joined them. Either he was really fast, or she was really slow. Oh well.

"Well, you look great!" she said smiling at the Superman shirt. Jake wore that for River. He was such a nice boy. "I haven't even gotten to put his sunblock on yet though. People keep insisting on coming in back here."

"I'll look after Grace while you two are 'rocking out'." Sylvia air quoted as he walked with them up to the house. She wasn't planning on standing here and waiting to go in. They were VIP's! Sylvia opened the door before Miles or Vannie could knock. "It's not like we're guests." She shrugged.

Grace clinged to her father as they arrived at the beach house. She wanted to go inside! "Ish Wiver hererrr?" She turned to Vannie with a big smile. River was her best friend, and he was the lead singer's son! Swoooon.

"I think you can walk on your own now." Miles said as he set Grace on her feet infront of him and Vannie. "Right! Follow auntie Sylvie." He knew she didn't like being called Sylvie, but it was fun all the same. Everytime Miles arrived here he felt like he'd never been here before. "Hmm. Today's going to be a good day." Miles would go to the concert and set up the drums after he'd seen Lima.

"You'll have to stop her climbing on the stage." Vanessa smiled as she watched Sylvia open the door and walk in. Well she was right. They were band members.
"Yes...he's here Gracieee." Vannie giggled at her daughter. She knew how much she liked playing with River, and Vannie herself hadn't seen Lima's son for a while. She was looking forward to it.

Once Miles had put Grace down, Vanessa found his hand and held it, smiling up at him. "You know Sylvia hates you calling her that..." She smiled at him. There wasn't much his sister could do really though, but it would be nice if Miles called her something she would like. Grabbing Grace's little hand with her own, Vanessa nodded towards the door that Sylvia had walked through, letting Grace walk through the door first.
"I wonder where Lima is..."

She turned around when she heard her name. Then she saw them. "Miles! Vannie! Gracie! Sylvia!" she exclaimed as she grabbed each one in a hug. "I'm so glad you guys made it. How are you?" Even though she had seen Miles and Vannie recently, it still felt like it had been ages.

Shana nodded.Quiiite doown.I dont want him finding out.She smiled and winked at Lima.Annd now Miles was here.MIIILES! Shana screamed and ran over to Miles and Sylvia and Vannie and the cuutest toddler ever apart from River.She beamed and smiled at the little girl.Who's this ? Your daughter ?

After tuning her guitar and making sure it was ready for the concert, Reese stood up and placed her guitar back on it's stand. She left her flower where it was and headed down off the stage. She walked back over to the food table and made sure one last time that everything was there.

Once she double checked the food table, she headed back up to the house. She needed to make sure all the band members were here now. If they were, everyone can head down to the beach. If everyone wasn't here, then you can cue the freak out attack. She opened the back door to the house once she made it up there and walked inside. She closed the door behind her and looked around the kitchen. Then, she walked into the living room and looked around.

Okay. Lima, Vannie, and Miles were all here.

WHERE WAS CAM AND WHIT?!

She pulled her phone out of her pocket and checked the time. It was already 10:25 A.M. and she told everyone they should be here at 10:00 so they could get the stage set up and everything. They still needed to do a mic check and all that stuff. She ran her fingers through her hair and quickly walked over to Lima. "Where's Cam and Whit?" She asked. "They were suppose to be here 30 minutes ago." She turned her attention towards to doot, hoping both Cam and Whit would walk in right then.

But, no one walked through the door. What if something happened? What if Cam got eaten by a dog or what if Whit was sick? She deeply sighed and looked back at Lima. "Please...just tell me you know where they are," she said. You could tell she was worried by the way she was talking.

Piper Snow walked into the house, her hand firmly in the grip of her fiance, Wesle Devereaux. The ring on her third finger nearly matched the sparkle of happiness that was in her eyes. She looked around, trying to see if she knew anyone. She spotted Em and Karma,, and she nearly rolled her eyes. oh Goodness.. more Drama..

"Do you see anyone you know?" She whispered to Wes as she tried to shrink back a little in the crowd.

River opened his mouth in excitement. OOOOOH. He was really going to see Superman after the concert?! He moved up and down from his seat and couldn't just keep a hold of himself. A smile that was wider than all of his smiles before appeared on his face and he waved his hands in the air for... random and odd reasons. "Okay mummy!" He realized that he had to be a good boy, an even better boy than before to get this present he wanted. YAYYY.'

Things went even better as he looked who came in from the dooor. "Suuupahhhgirl!" He clapped his hands, referring to Hayley as Supergirl. He waved at her and faced Kaitlynnh who had just called him cutie. What? "Nohhhh, SUPAHMANNNN!" He'd said it many other times before--he'd prefer it for people to call him Superman because he really was Superman.

And he faced the girl... cutieee, again? River didn't want to say it all over again, he was too tired from all the talking and from all of the things he did. "Haiiii misshy, I'm Rivah!" Right, he had to be a good little boy for the whole day if he wanted that present of his!

He looked at Jake who came back to the kitchen. The t-shirt... River wanted a t-shirt like that. Especially the hat. "Meeee want hatt! Me want hat Jakeuhhh!" THIS WASS EXCITING.

An older version of Cam walked through the lane with his lemur outfit on him already. Okay so he was PRETTY late but putting on that suit was PRETTY hard. It took him more than 30 minutes even! But he'd come here for funnnnn because he'd never really crowd-dived before. Aaaaaand he'd come here for Lima too... yeah. But mostly for the dive. Why did he HAVE to stay on the Pathway?!

Couldn't he take some detour or something? Because it was really hard to walk in the lemur suit and it was probably even harder to jump in it. Ohhh boy. Right now he wanted to go to the beach. Not to swim of course, he didn't WANT to swim at all, but because it was HOT-A-LOT in the outfit.

Geeeez, if it wasn't a lemur, he would have never agreed to wear it! But lemurs were awesome so he couldn't help but wear the dang thing.

Deciding not to knock on the door at all, he just opened it and came in... Pretty freaky to look at someone in a lemur suittt. "Now now, mind your own business people," he said to them all in his now pretty deep voice. Cam walked towards Lima and wavedddd. "SUPPP LIMAAA!" WOW. She was WAYYYY SHORT to him now.

Awkwarrddddddd.

Karma had been smiling and laughing and sitting with her friends when a new entrance stopped her for a moment. Oh, how old drama never seemed to cease. She was with Wes - the boy who helped break Em's heart. This wasn't going to be such a good time, because that might as well have slashed new wounds. It wasn't like Karma to be rude, considering it was so many years later. So, she took the bigger path, and sat up a little.

"Hello Piper, Wes," she said, smiling slightly.

Kris watched his sister tense up, and that could only mean one thing - that something was about to go down, and it wasn't going to be good. He put his hand on his sister's arm in warning, and when she turned to look at him, he gave her a look.

"Come to me with problems," he said quietly.

A new entrance caught her attention even more, especially because whoever it was, was in a lemur suit. Well of course, it would be the band's mascot. Karma's eyes widened when he looked a little familiar to her.

But it couldn't be. There's no way - but...

"Cam?" she asked, shocked.

Clark smiled at River and walked over to Shana, who was with Vannie and Miles. He hadn't talked to them a lot while at Hogwarts, but he recognized their faces. They were with a toddler, who was very cute, and a girl he didn't recognize. "Who are these, love?" he asked Shana. "Hey, I'm Clark." he introduced himself to the couple.

Lemur!Cam turned around when he heard someone question his name. The voice was familiar. REAAAALLL familiar. It was like the voice he hadn't heard for quite a long time really. That was freaky. It was like the voice... of a sistahhh! Yup he was definitely right because right there standing a few feet away from him was the woman who he had thought was some sort of a long lost sister.

Karma.

SHE WAS HERE?! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. He got excited! "KAARRMIEEEEEE," he said aloud and it was pretty weird to hear a deep voice say that. Hmm. Oh well. He walked towards her and smiled but in his lemur suit, she probably couldn't see him at all. The only thing was his voice. If he took it off, it would take quite a while to put it back on. The thing he had realized was...

She was short.

Karma was laik taller than him when he first met her but now... HEEEE WAS THE TALL ONE. MWAHAHAHAHAH. "What's uppp, SHORTY MCSHORT SHORT?!" He snorted and then compared their sizes using his hand. "Tsk tsk tsk, you haven't been eaaatin' your vegetables HAVE YOU?"

It had happened only a few weeks before. Wes and Piper had stayed together for a number of years ... but it had been hard enough for him to wrap his head around the title 'girlfriend'. It was only her lecturing that had gotten him to suck it up and propose already. He knew that he didn't deserve her, of course, but she seemed to be content enough ... so Wes wasn't likely to argue with her on that front.

They walked into the house, hand in hand, his thumb brushing the diamond ring on her third finger. Wes was only there for Piper. He only knew a handful of people in the room, and was more than content to never talk to them again. He followed her gaze as they looked around the room. Naturally, they spotted Emiliano and Karma. Wes tore his gaze away and looked over at Piper. It was easy to tell that she'd rather just vanish.

"Well, there is no one from the office, so no. I guess I recognize a few faces. But I really am only here for you." He admitted with a shrug of his shoulders. "Anyone you -- well, anyone else you recognize?" Wes inquired. He would likely wind up meeting her friends ... as he could count all his friends on one hand.

"Hello Karma." Wes greeted he with a smile. She was one of the few people he actually recognized. Sure, last time he'd seen her things had hardly been comfortable ... but he wasn't going to rehash those wounds. They had both grown up. There was no point in carrying on about everything. He gently squeezed Piper's hand and waited to see how things turned out. "How have you been doing? What's new these days?" He asked politely.

SQUEEEEE. Short!Karma was right, it was Cam.

But he was so tall, and his voice was too deep. Butbutbut... he wasn't ALLOWED to grow that much. Or have a voice that deep. Maybe he looked the same under all that costume, but -

"Cameron take that head off right now so I can see you," she demanded, standing up and putting her hands on her hips. GAH. He was like what, over 6 feet now? Almost as tall as Kris. "You... are tall, little brother."

She had the urge to hug him, but couldn't with that whole costume thing. UGH. He must take it off so she could see him, she would even help him put it back on.

"Actually, take the whole costume off, I'll help you put it back on. You better have clothes on under there."

Thenn Wes began talking to her. She was very surprised, as their school days he rarely looked at her, talked to her, or even wanted to be around her. It's not like she was going to pounce on him or anything. Back at Hogwarts she readily would have though, but not now.

"I've been doing alright, actually. Just working, traveling, the fun stuff. How about yourself?"

Shana smiled and rolled her eyes as Clark walked over.Umm first of all..Dont call me Love..It sounds kinda Sappy.mhmm she nodded.Annd this Is Miles Parker annd Vannessa Parker but everyone calls her Vannie and This is Sylvia Parker and Imm not quite sure who this little cutie is.She said bending down to the little toddlers level.Hewwo Little Cutie..Whats your name then ? she said in a soft voice and smiled.



Shana looked around and then she spotted the person she'd been waiting to arrive foor agees.CAAAAM! She screamed and went running over to Cam and screamed in his face.Heeey! Duude..I miiisssed youuuu. she beamed and gave him a little poke hoping he returned the poke,she missed his pokes even though it was a bit annoying at times.

Take off the head? Well that was pretty easy. But then she said to take off the whole thing. THE WHOLE THING?! WUT? It had taken him more than 30 minutes to put on all of this! But it was Karma and he had to dooo it 'cause he was Cam and she was Karma. Bleh. She also said she'd help him put it back on so that would be even easier than before. It was worth a try, right?

"Fiiineeee!"

He first took off the head and the first thing he did was take a greaaat sniffff. AHHHHH. MUCH BETTER. You could see from his face that it was pretty hot inside that costume and that would mean he was probably going to melt after going outside. Cam started to take off the whole thing now. Pretty easy to take it off but pretty hard to put it on. Then finally in about a minute or so, he was FREEEEE.

Free from the evil yet so good-looking costume!

"Thereeee."

"Shanaaahhhhhh?!"

Cam wanted to say he missed her too but... pfttt that was unmanly like of him. He opened his mouth when he poked her. Soooo in return, he gave her a hard poke in the forehead. Hehehe he stiiilll loved poking! "Soooo soooo watcha been doooing?" Was everyone here? Where was Jake thouugh? The house was like some sort of a crowd right now.

Clark smiled, but inside he was like, 'what?' Shana had been kind of vague in the days leading up to the concert. Did it have something to do with seeing Jake? Shana had dated him little bit in their...fifth year, his sixth year? "You know you love it. What would you rather me call you?"

He nodded at the Parkers. "I knew you from Hogwarts, Vannie, you were a prefect, right? Oh my gosh! Sylvia!" he embraced the girl. "It's been too long." he smiled. They were old Hogwarts friends, she was his age. He didn't know who she was because she was older and looked a bit different.

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamaaaaah ?! Shana mimicked him.

She shrugged.Umm Nuuurthin muuch..Chilling annd you know and yourself ?.Soo Cam,does you have a giirlfriend ? she raised her eye brow and winked at him.What was with her lately ?! She keeept winking.She didn't like winking it made her eye hurt but somehow she had to keep doing it.Ergghh.And back to the normal subject.Pfft.Her guy best friend and she didn't know if he had a girlfriend or not.Pfft that was un-acceptable.


Shana rolled her eyes.Yeah,corse I do.Not. she said sarcastically and rolled her eyes.Boys.Seriously.What was it with the 'You know you love it' line ? Was there some sort of handbook saying if you feel in any danger around a girl say either one of these 3 lines....? Or something ? She shrugged and looked at Clark blankly.Umm well Shana's my name so that might be a start.She shrugged and looked down at her feet.

Piper was honestly surprised by the fact that Karma said hello. She had braced herself.. for.. well whatever. She had thought that she was going to be reamed, after all she had broken Em's heart wayy back in 6th year. But it seemed like they had all gotten over it. A smile broke over Piper's face. "I'm great, how have you been Karma?" She asked her.



Piper smiled up at Wes as he ran his finger over the beautiful ring he had given her. It had taken her sometime to convince him to marry her, and she had finally come up with, marry me, or lose me... That had worked pretty well, and a few days later, he had presented her with the ring that she now wore on her finger.

She knew he could tell how she was feeling and she smiled up at him a bit as he spoke. "I know you are here for me, and you don't know how much I appreciate that Love...Wes.." She stammered out, she forgot.. no pet names in public. "Well, i do recognize Lima, and Reese.. but other than that. No actually." Piper didn't know a whole lot of people. She tended to stick with Wes, and her family.

She looked up again as Reese was back in the kitchen asking if she had heard from Whit or Cameron. She frowned, she hadn't. "I have no idea where they are. And I'm getting anxious too. I can call Whit and see what's up with her after I put River's sunscreen on. And you can call Cameron." This was getting a bit worrying. But she had to put her son's sunblock on.

Turning her gaze back to River, she said, "right, no more distractions." and picked up his sunblock. She opened the lid and got a fair bit of the stuff onto her hand. Then she started applying it to his face -staying well away from his eyes - his neck, arms and his legs. "Aren't you a special little boy, River? You have your friends here and a new hat! And now it's time for you to go with Jakers!"

With that, she picked the little guy up and headed over to Jake. "Have fun," she said smiling at them both as she handed him off to his babysitter. Then more people came in the kitchen.

One of who was Cameron. "CAMERON!" she exclaimed, reaching out and giving the boy a hug. He was so much... older now. Weird..

He could see the surprise register on her face. Part of him couldn't blame her, another part of him was irritated that everything that had happened in his sixth year was still hanging over his head. A lot had changed since then. Back in his sixth year he'd barely been able to look at Karma. At this point he was much better at avoiding the charm of a veela. He could look at her, and sure, part of him did want to lunge at her ... but another part of him was very happy holding Piper's hand. He held onto her smaller hand like a lifeline. She'd long ago agreed to save him from moments like these. She knew he was a bit of a weakling.

"I've been doing very well. Living just outside London, I also inherited my parents summer home in France. I also recently got a seat on the Wizengamot." He added, that was one thing he was rather proud of. He never expected to get a job like that. "And I'm getting married as well." He added as he held up Piper's left hand, the one linked with his.

Piper was the first one to ever give him an ultimatum like that. She was the first girl ever in a position to give him one really. Wes didn't do girlfriends before Piper. He didn't do any of this. The word Fiance still felt strange flitting across his mind. He shook it off, and reminded himself that he had months to get use to the idea.

"Merlin what a pare we make." He chuckled as she admitted that she didn't recognize hardly anyone. "Between the two of us we are going to be the most ridiculous homebodies ever." He commented, clearly amused. Neither of them seemed terribly eager to go out and make friends. Neither of them had a large group of friends from their Hogwarts days either.

Karma folded her arms when he hesitated. She WOULD get her way this time. And she would magick it back on him, she knew more know than what she had ever before magic wise. Just don't make her mad now. Ahem.

"Nowwww," she said, waiting. When he began to take the suit off, she smiled. "There we gooo." Not having been real emotional with Cam before, except at her graduation party, she walked over to him with her arms held up the moment he was free. "C'mere."

She didn't give him a chance to think or even say EWW COOTIES like he normally would have when he was younger. It was three years since the last time she saw him - she so deserved this, whether he liked it or not. Meh, he was kinda smelly. But he was a boy and he was in that lemur suit. It was alright.

"You kinda smell."

"We're glad to be here," Savannah replied to Lima, returning the hug with one arm for the other still held the three-year-old girl, she glanced briefly at Kaitlynnh and then back again. Hopefully she would have fun and this would help change her mood; of course, the former Hufflepuff was always full of hope for the best.

More people began arriving and wandering through, almost everyone was chatting with others, Lima included. She could recognize quite a few people, whether from her school days or nearly three years ago at her cousin's wedding. It made sense to see them. After all, this was a fun little gathering for friends and family. Little was an understatement.

Brushing the dark bangs from hanging in her ocean colored eyes, Savannah looked around the room, scanning over the faces of the guests. There was one question on her mind, of which she was unaware her younger sister was also thinking. Where was Sam and Milo? It was Katie who brought them up.

After hugging Lima back, her dark eyes traveled to the little one seated in front of his mother as she tried getting a free moment to rub some sunscreen on his fair skin. "Oh, right! Sorry, Superman." Kaitlynnh apologized, somewhat amused, playing along with the toddlers game as though she had completely forgotten to call him by his proper super hero position. When the kitchen began to feel a little bit crowded, it was her sign to go take a walk or something. Anything. "I'm going to find Sam," murmured the girl, just loud enough for Vannah to hear over the other voices.

One step, two steps, three. . . in her mind, she counted her foot steps for two reasons. One, not surprisingly, was boredom. The other was for something simple to concentrate on, something besides the current train of thoughts drifting in and out that she refused. After a moment, having slipped carefully past anyone and everyone along the way, Kaitlynnh found herself in what she assumed was the livingroom. It was big, and decorated mostily in white, she noticed. Something told her the woman who owned the place must not have had children. Suddenly spotting a couple sitting on the couch together, Katie made her way over to Samantha and her husband. "Long time no see," She said cooly, unable to help the grin on her face. She was happy. Atleast semi-happy. Katie had to admit, it was nice to see her cousins and their own little families.

Supergirl? Hayley giggled, swinging her foot again, the heel of her blue-colored shoe tapped lightly against her mummy's leg. She probably didn't know enough about super heroes to keep up with River, but she did have the gist of who Supergirl was. Or, atleast the one in in her mind, created from her almost overactive imagination. "Hii Supahhman!" She greeted him, a big smile on her face.

Hayley watched her surroundings interestedly, curiously even. She was just about to ask to be put down, until the Lemur costume came into the room. The loudness of both voices and noise in general didn't bother her any, coming from the families (and other close friends she saw regularly) she did, it was normal. The Lemur on the other hand. . . not so much. It was one of those 'You don't see that everyday.' moments, Hayley wasn't sure if she should want to pet it or be afraid of the giant stuffed animal. Another really good question that was puzzling her was, was it an animal or a person? "It talk." She said outloud, thoughtfully, a quizzical look on her face that made her mother laugh.

Piper was surprised how well Wes was doing with Karma in the vicinity.. all she had noticed was that he had squeezed her hand a little harder than normal. But it was okay, she knew that he loved her, and she also knew what to do. She pulled him around to face her and smiled up lovingly at him, "I love you.." She whispered as she kissed him gently on the lips.

She knew he was still getting used to the idea that they were engaged, but he had six months or so to get used to it, until they got married. Than he would have to get used to her as his wife. Ahhhh Piper couldn't wait until that day.
"Yes, /i know.. we are a pair aren't we..."
